Built-up on the licenses for selection and assignment methods in case of a medical  emergency provided exclusively by Onismed AG the core functions will be developed and added by country-specific layers. The whole rescue chain and also the later aftercare will be supported. The effectiveness for partial aspects of telematic applications in the field of health care has already been proved by national and international studies.

In the course of medical emergency care, it is often of vital importance to be able to get immediate information about where the next available life-saving resource is located, and especially: which hospital, at that very moment, has the specific occupancy capacities that the attending on-site physician deems necessary for the further treatment of the patient.
Many online systems exist that can locate the nearest emergency vehicles in respect to the location of the incident, and produce a selection of vehicles to choose from. But even these systems often lack information about which equipment is actually available on board the vehicles, and more importantly, which equipment is most suitable for conducting an adequate allocation for a critical, assessable incident, like for ex. a heart attack.

Concerning the choice of hospital for further treatment, currently, a patient is often transported to the nearest hospital without the prior clarification as to whether the hospital has capacity available for the specific accident. The consequence can be non-acceptance (although obviously not permissible), long waiting periods in the emergency ward, or unnecessary transfers. This is a situation that can be dramatically improved by today's information and communication technology. These technical answers are also very helpful for events that require the treatment of many patients.

Or, the patient is in need of a particular type of treatment, as for a stroke or heart attack. In these cases, the physician on-site should have immediate access to information concerning the location of specialized equipment that is currently available for allocation. Common practice today, is to clarify such information by making several telephone calls and searching for an appropriate place to admit the patient. This procedure costs valuable time in the emergency chain and reduces the chances for recovery.
